Line 21:
** Shooter too, for his whole wasted life, as well as for disgracing his son.
* [[Serious Business]]: The people of Hickory really, REALLY care about the high school basketball team. They have ''town meetings'' about them.
** Of course, in small-town Indiana this was [[Truth in Television]], at least until they [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|started combining the various high schools and getting rid of the one class championship in favor of four classes.]] Bring up the issue of "class basketball" for the real [[Serious Business]].
* [[Slow Clap]]
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The 2011 film ''The Mighty Macs'' is very similar to ''Hoosiers'', with the only major differences being instead of an Indiana high school men's basketball team, it's a Pennsylvania Catholic university women's basketball team. Still not a bad film though.
* [[Underdogs Never Lose]]
* [[Very Loosely Based
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Buddy and Whit quit the team in a scene that shows Coach Dale will brook no nonsense from his players. Whit later apologizes and rejoins the team. Buddy later is back on the team too, but we never see how or when he returns.
